Sodium chlorate decomposes upon heating or in the presence of metals to give oxygen gas, so it is used as a source of oxygen in emergency oxygen generators on airplanes, submarines, even the space station. With the inquiry-based Decomposition of Sodium Chlorate: Mass, Moles and the Chemical Equation—ChemTopic™ Lab Activity, design a small-scale procedure to determine the chemical equation for the thermal decomposition of sodium chlorate.
